Blame It On the Streets

Blame It On the Streets is the name to both a short film and its soundtrack album by American hip hop recording artist YG.

The album features guest appearances from Big Wy, Jay 305, RJ, Nipsey Hussle, The Neighbourhood, TeeCee4800, Charley Hood, Slim 400, D-Lo, Mack 10 and DJ Quik.

The film highlights YG's life on the streets of Compton before his rise to fame.

Co-written by YG with the help of Darryl "Lucky" Rodgers, Blame It On the Streets draws inspiration from two of the rapper's album cuts: "BPT", a song about YG's initiation into the infamous Piru Bloods gang, and "Meet the Flockers", which describes his experience as a house burglar; YG said, "It's a group of your homies, so it's a flock of y'all going out lurking, looking for some s--t to rob," he explains.

"[1] The album debuted at number 118 on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 17,000 copies in the first week.
